Rule 5 Sunday: Monica Ruiz

— compiled by Wombat-socho The UCSB graduate has appeared in minor roles in a few movies and TV series, but what’s catapulted her to fame (or maybe infamy) is her role in the recent Peloton ad that apparently triggered a whole bunch of idjits on the intertubes. Well, if nothing else, she got an immediate […]

Rule 5 Tuesday: D.C. Fontana

— compiled by Wombat-socho Better than last week… Today brings the sad news that Dorothy Fontana, a screenwriter many credit for helping make the original Star Trek a success, has died. We don’t have any good rule 5 pics of Ms. Fontana, but here’s an Orion slave girl from “The Cage”, which later was adapted […]

Rule 5 Wednesday: Busy In The Kitchen

— compiled by Wombat-socho Oh, the embarrassment. Laid low for most of this past week by a strain of flu that this season’s shot didn’t block. Well, better late than never, and since most of us have our minds on cooking (or eating, at least) it seemed appropriate to introduce a playful chef from the […]

Rule Five Sunday: Black Widow

— compiled by Wombat-socho Has it really been two weeks since the last Rule 5 Sunday? Ugh. Well, nothing for it but to Yes!

— compiled by Wombat-socho We’re now in November of 2019, which is when the movie Blade Runner is supposed to take place, and there’s been a lot of discussion online about the resemblances between Los Angeles in the movie and Los Angeles in real life. Our concern, however, is with the ladies of that movie, […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Ingrid Pitt

— compiled by Wombat-socho Halloween draws near, the time when everybody pulls out the horror films that have been gathering dust in the DVD rack all year. Seems appropriate to look back at one of the last great British film studios, Hammer Films, best known for some eye-popping movies about Dracula and other monsters, frequently […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Roll Tide!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Quick and dirty since I have to pack up and drive to Carson City tonight so the State Bureau of Disability Adjudication can’t lose my paperwork again. Give it up for the 2019 Alabama Dance Team. 90 Miles From Tyranny: Hot Pick of The Late Night, The 90 Miles Mystery Box […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Revolution Calling

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s been a disappointing week on the Rule 5 front. All the actresses and models who normally get all excited about great social movements have fallen oddly silent this week, which I guess is better than the disgusting slurping on Chairman Xi’s microwiener currently being performed by the NBA and Blizzard, […]
